The cities of Rio de Janeiro and Niteroi in Brazil officially submitted their joint bid to
host the 2031 Pan American Games.
“The Brazilian Olympic Committee received the application dossier for the
candidacy of the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Niteroi for the
Pan American and Parapan American Games of 2031,” the COB said in a statement quoted by the Sputnik agency.
The COB must now decide what will be the candidacy that will represent Brazil,
on January 31, the COB will send a letter to PANAM Sports, the
highest entity in Pan American sports, informing which city will be Brazil's bet.
